Went back to the big lake for 2 nights , went at the 'factory end', you're all locked in and secure inside massive fencing no public access etc and an estuary behind, although opposite me was huge industrial buildings and laboratory type rooms , which makes it an interesting view, if not a traditional countryside fishing scene lol
Saw peregrine falcons nesting there and herons, egrets, kingfishers because is actually a nice remote estuary flooding environment behind.
Only 3 other people on 80 acres was lovely and quiet me and a friend set up in swims next door around 30 yards apart , set up a keepnet and float with corn and small pellet as feed for a change as well as just carping as we were in a suntrap .
Had a few carp in the end at range around 110 yards out, unusually couldn't get a bite from them close in where I usually do , this included launching 20mm boilies in a throwing stick to bait up at that distance which is quite fun in itself
Plenty bream and 1 tench thrown in plus a 15lbs common on a light float and worm . Nice couple days didn't see a single other person despite being so close to all this, just watching the world go by .
The fish are in great condition here due to not being hammered and the depth and size of the place. A shrimp
diet being brackish must help to.
